due to change in materials of shrapnel
"Current Ukrainian stocks of the precision rockets use the M31 Unitary Warhead, best suited for destroying individual targets such as headquarters buildings or ammunition dumps.
The M31 has a 90kg explosive charge contained inside a fragmentation sleeve which produces distinctive, diamond-shaped shrapnel. It is not ideal against targets spread over large areas, as the deadly chunks are not designed to fly far.
In contrast, the new M30A1 rocket contains 182,000 tungsten ball bearings specially designed to cover a much larger area."
